Wei Ting went out without an umbrella, and his clothes were soaked by the spring rain. He held a small basket in his arms and covered it tightly with his wide sleeves.

"Master, you are back?"

The gatekeeper was about to salute when Wei Ting hurried past him.

The servant was confused, but he suddenly realized something, without knowing what he was thinking about.

Wei Ting came to the west courtyard of the mansion in the rain.

The rain gradually got heavier and the sky became completely dark.

Wei Ting carefully protected the flowers and plants in his arms and knocked on the gate.

It was Ping'er who opened the door.

Ping'er was wearing a straw raincoat and was almost unable to open her eyes due to the heavy rain. "Master, why are you here?"

"I picked some flowers for mother." Wei Ting said, "Is mother here?"

Ping'er looked back and said to Wei Ting, "Madam has gone to bed. Master, please give the things to me."

“So early…”

Wei Ting murmured.

A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes unconsciously.

Just because this time, it's no different from previous years.

"Young Master?" Ping'er looked at him.

Wei Ting slowly handed over the basket of flowers and plants in his hand: "I'll wait outside for a while. If mother wakes up, call me."

Ping'er was about to say something but stopped herself, took the flowers and plants, and closed the gate.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the eaves and the ground with a clanging sound, splashing water three feet high.

Ping'er carried the wet flowers and plants into the room and said to the master guiltily, "When the young master brought them here, there was not a single drop of rain on them. I have been carrying them here for such a short while... and they are all wet..."

Mrs. Wei sat in the room, concentrating on pruning the branches.

"Madam..." Ping'er gently placed the basket on the table, "The young master said he is waiting outside. If you wake up, please ask him to come in."

Mrs. Wei said nothing and cut a leaf.

Ping Erh said again: "Madam, it's raining so hard, the young master will get wet, let him in."

Madam Wei said calmly, "Don't worry about him. It's up to him to take as long as he wants."

Ping'er bit her lip: "Then... I'll give the young master an umbrella..."

Madam Wei slammed the scissors on the table and said, "I told you not to bother with him!"

The heavy rain soaked Wei Ting's body without a single dry spot.

He looked at the closed gate in embarrassment, like an abandoned child.

He heard her words, which were like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

In the yard of Old Madam Wei, Old Madam Wei was planning to take a rest.

When people get older, they have to accept old age. When they were young, it was okay to stay awake for most of the night, but now as soon as it gets dark, they feel sleepy and confused.

"Okay, I understand."

At the door, Nanny Li sent a servant away and came to the bedside of Old Madam Wei. "Old Madam, the young master has gone to the Madam's place."

Old Madam Wei sighed with a complicated expression.

Nanny Li looked out the window and said, "It's raining so heavily..."

Old Lady Wei said, "Go and call him back!"

"Yes." Nanny Li agreed.

Just as he turned around, Old Lady Wei spoke again: "Forget it, you can't call him, just let him stand, and he will leave when his heart is soaked."

Nanny Li sighed.

Pear Blossom Lane.

Su Xiaoxiao was baking medicinal herbs that were wet by the rain in the woodshed. Fortunately, they were only a little wet, and baking them dry would not affect the efficacy of the medicine.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"mother!"

The three little kids went home clattering in their little straw raincoats.

The three of them searched for a while before finally finding Su Xiaoxiao in the woodshed.

"mother!"

The three of them couldn't wait to show Su Xiaoxiao their small straw raincoats and small bamboo hats.

"Does it look good?" Erhu asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three cute little kids in straw raincoats and laughed, "Looks good. Who bought these straw raincoats?"

"Master!" the little tiger said in a chirping voice.

What happened was that it was raining, and Ling Yun asked Deng An to hold an umbrella for them to come back. When they saw that Deng An was wearing a straw raincoat, they said they didn't want the umbrella either, and wanted to wear the straw raincoats themselves.

Deng An actually bought it, and I was quite fascinated by it.

The big tiger jumped and jumped like an energetic Tigger.

Xiaohu also tried to jump like him, but after only two jumps, he fell down with a thud.

"It's so heavy!"

Then the little tiger couldn't get up.

Su Xiaoxiao went to cook.

The three of them first ate a few pieces of jujube-nut cake to fill their stomachs, and then ran out, showing off their small raincoats from house to house.

When Su Cheng returned home, the three of them had already finished showing off and were stepping in puddles in the yard.

Seeing the three dirty clay dolls, Su Cheng collapsed on the spot——

Su Ergou did not return to Lihua Lane today. Instead, he went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

He came to return Su Li's things.

"My fifth cousin left this behind when he left just now." Su Ergou handed a small jade pendant to Tao.

Tao pulled Su Ergou to sit down and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. It was indeed Lao Wu's.

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "So that boy went to look for you. I'm relieved now. He hasn't been seen all day, and I was afraid he would go out and do something to me again!"

"How could that be? Fifth cousin is a very nice person."

This was the first time that Tao heard someone praise her son, and she was a little surprised: "Does Ergou like Fifth Cousin?"

"I like it!" Su Ergou nodded, "My fifth cousin buys me food and takes me out to play and make money."

Tao thought the first part was normal, but what about the last part, "earn money"? "Earn, what money?" Tao asked blankly.

"Oh, this." Su Ergou took out a handful of silver coins and a stack of crumpled banknotes from his pocket. "This is much more than what I make from selling snacks. If I had known this was so profitable, I wouldn't have made my sister suffer so much in the countryside."

Tao felt something was wrong and asked Su Ergou how he earned the money.

Su Ergou: "Pai Gow."

Tao: “……!!”

Su Li was extremely unlucky today. He suffered a setback at the hands of the little girl and originally wanted to get back at Su Ergou.

He had already prepared the cage, and was just waiting for Su Ergou to crawl in.

But Su Ergou was not so lucky, and he only drew heavenly cards! After a lot of effort, they drew heavenly cards, but Su Ergou drew Supreme Treasure!

Su Li and his gang of bad friends lost miserably.

He wanted to kill Su Ergou, but ended up being slaughtered by Su Ergou instead. Now he has lost the trust of his brothers, and they all said that he deliberately asked his cousin to challenge him.

I will break off all ties with him from now on.

Su Li felt so wronged!

But it's not over yet.

When he returned home in a daze in the heavy rain, he was greeted with a severe beating from Tao.

Wow, I'm so miserable, really...

…

Dinner was ready. Su Xiaoxiao looked outside the door and said, "Huh? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Yuchi Xiu came over and stretched out his claws to grab the meat on the plate: "Sir, he won't be back tonight."

Su Xiaoxiao slapped his hand away with a chopstick: "What's wrong? Did he go back to live at the Wei family?"

Yuchi Xiu touched the back of his hand that was slapped red, glared at someone, and said, "It's true that I'm going home, but it's not what you think."

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised: "Huh?"

Yuchi Xiu said: "He went to see Madam Wei, but probably, Madam Wei would not see him."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the pouring rain, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Yuchi Xiu's collar.

Yuchi Xiu bared his teeth and clawed: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing! You woman who shot my ass! Don't touch me again!"

"Where are you dragging me to!"

"I'm warning you—"

"once--"

"twice--"

"If you don't let go after I shout three, I will be rude to you—"

"Three-ah-"

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Since I can’t eat mooncakes, I can only look at your monthly tickets and drool.
